Jeremy M. Baskin

Jeremy M. Baskin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. His research focuses on developing innovative chemical approaches to study the biology of lipids and membranes, particularly in the context of signaling mechanisms and their roles in human disease. His work involves creating molecular imaging tools to explore the functions of rare phospholipids and their impact on cellular processes. Baskin's research integrates chemical biology with interdisciplinary methods to address fundamental questions about lipid homeostasis and its implications for conditions such as cancer, neurological disorders, and infections.

Jeremy M. Baskin is an Associate Professor in Chemistry & Chemical Biology and the Weill Institute at Cornell University. His research focuses on chemical biology, cell biology, and lipid signaling, with an emphasis on developing and applying bioorthogonal reactions for in vivo imaging and labeling. His work explores the use of copper-free click chemistry to visualize dynamic processes in living systems, including membrane-associated glycans and lipid signaling pathways. Baskin's research also investigates the role of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) in plasma membrane identity and its connection to diseases such as leukodystrophy. His studies integrate chemical tools with biological systems to advance understanding of cellular processes.
